Seeing The World Through PC Glasses, Or.....

.......all the news that's fit to print. And I do mean fit.

An interesting science piece from the New York Times on the theory(attacked over the last couple decades) that the crew of Columbus' ships contracted syphilis from the natives of the New World and brought it back to the Old.

Even more interesting is the titles of the piece, "Genetic Study Bolsters The Columbus Link To Syphilis".

Almost makes ol' Christopher seem like some fifteenth century Typhoid Mary doesn't it ?

.....and a quick little search of the article reveals that words "native", "Native American", and "Indian"(that last one isn't surprising) appear....absolutely....no where.
